LOS ANGELES — Chris Paul's teammates figure he might need more time to fully recover from his role in one of the ugliest playoff collapses in NBA history.

With the Los Angeles Clippers' season riding on Game 6, Paul knows he doesn't have that luxury.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are back at Staples Center on Thursday night, and the Clippers must shelve their memories of the mistakes late in Game 5 that cost them a chance to close out the series at home.
